Prior to 9/1/2016, Charity Navigator issued Advisories under the name CN Watchlist and Donor Advisory.

This donor advisory was published on Tuesday, September 20, 2011

In accordance with our policy for removing Donor Advisories, Charity Navigator removed the Donor Advisory for Crossroads Center on November 6, 2012 because the Donor Advisory had been in place for more than a year (since September 20, 2011) and because the issues that prompted the Donor Advisory have been resolved. Specifically:

The charity's FY 2011 Form 990 reported fundraising expenses.

Charity Navigator had published a Donor Advisory for this charity because we became aware of the following information in connection with this charity:

Crossroads Center historically reported fundraising expenses on their Forms 990. But its FYE 2010 listed no fundraising expenses. Based on our experience, charities only rarely are able to raise substantial sums of money without incurring any associated fundraising costs. We had reached out to Crossroads Center for clarification, but we did not receive an adequate explanation. We were therefore unable to evaluate Crossroads Center and thus issued a Donor Advisory.
